Scientists and researchers can now enter the Amphipolis tomb

The Kasta Tomb, also known as the Amphipolis Tomb, in northern Greece, opened to scientists, researchers, and tour guides on Tuesday, nine years after its discovery. These individuals will be able to inspect the ancient monument and determine the best methods for its functioning.

These initial visitors entered the tomb's interior and examined the burial trench in groups of five, each with a guard or archaeologist by their side.

The well-known archaeological site is currently undergoing extensive restoration with financial assistance from the EU's Recovery and Resilience Fund. The site gained international media attention in 2014 after the discovery of the tomb from the late 4th century BC.
